Debuting April 7, the Bolliger & Mabillard inverted coaster's elaborate Egyptian themes include an obelisk monument, pictogram carvings and sphinx statues that maintain the characteristic humor of Asterix, a popular French comic book and the theme park's titular character.

After ascending to the top of a 131-foot-tall lift hill, OzIris will travel at 55 mph with no intermittent brake runs through three tunnels and five inversions, including a dive loop, a corkscrew and zero-G roll.

The new coaster will serve as the anchor attraction for a new Egyptian themed land, joining lands based on Roman, Gallic, Greek and Viking subjects.

OzIris loosely translates to "Dare Iris," with coaster riders daring to survive the hypnotic gaze of the Egyptian sorcerer Iris.

Taking inspiration from the highly themed Black Mamba inverted coaster at Germany's Phantasialand, the ride designers for OzIris created a nearly mile-long track layout that dives through artificial rock-work tunnels and underwater chasms.

Germany's Europa-Park plans to debut its first wooden roller coaster in March 2012 in the Icelandic area of the park. Wodan, the park's 11th coaster, will celebrate the gods and goddesses of Norse mythology.
